TT Electronics/Optek Technology's Photologic V OPB9000 reflective optical sensor is used in industrial and medical applications to provide reliable edge and presence reflection media detection in a wide range of ambient light conditions. OPB9000, under the OPTEK brand, is suitable for a variety of applications including industrial printing, dispensing, manufacturing automation, safety and security equipment, and portable laboratory/medical equipment.
The OPB9000 is a reflective CMOS logic output sensor with programmable sensitivity, output polarity and drain selection. The unmatched 25+ thousand Rox ambient light immunity, as well as the wide operating temperature range, make the OPB9000 stand out from the competition. The self-calibration feature avoids the need to constantly recalibrate leds as they age, saving valuable time and effort. Temperature compensation and automatic gain control capabilities enable it to operate reliably under the most demanding and dynamic environmental conditions, where consistent performance of the sensor equipment is critical. Industry-leading response times of 6μs ensure high-speed detection for time-demanding applications.
Designs using standard analog circuits can be very complex and require additional external components, which adds space and cost. The OPB9000 eliminates circuit complexity and reduces board space requirements by up to 80% through its fully integrated analog front end and digital interface. It combines an infrared emitter and integrated logic sensor in a miniature 4.0mm x 2.2mm x 1.5mm surface mount package.
